Hyderabad: On Monday morning, when K. Satish visited the house of his sister Kotra Swati and brother-in-law Pradeep, he expected to talk to her for some time. However, they did not open the door when he knocked.
He waited for some time and tried again. There was no response. He tried for two hours and finally called the police. They broke open the door, only to see all the four family members dead.
On hearing the news, the families of Pradeep and Swati went into shock and said they could not believe they faced any problem that forced them to take the extreme step.
Pradeep’s father K. Yadaiah said he had never mentioned any family issues. He said Pradeep had borrowed Rs 45 lakh to invest in business because he was not satisfied with working elsewhere and wanted to start his own unit.
Mr Yadaiah said Pradeep owned his house. He had converted his personal loan to a home loan and borrowed Rs 22 lakh which he had invested as a safety measure.
“If he had said anything about his struggles about financial matters, the family would definitely have helped him. We never thought of this,” the family member added.
Pradeep’s neighbour Ramesh said, “His family was well off and would have helped him. We never saw the spouses fighting, in fact they are a most adorable couple.” Every day the children used to play outside. We last saw them on Saturday afternoon, he said.
